  1. From Soviet to Russian international law : studies in continuity and change

    Ginsburgs, George
    The Hague ; Boston, MA : Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, 1998.

    Topics selected for treatment in this volume include: the relationship between international and domestic law; citizenship and state succession; the Sino-Russian boundary problem; and co-operation with China in policing crime. These areas illustrate major shifts in the Russian international law policy bid to shed the corset of Communist ideology and old regime's "modus operandi" and join the international community's mainstream culture. The test cases featured in this text also attest to the difficulties encountered in the process of transition and show that progress on this front has by no means been uniform. The sample includes both instances where the break with the past looks quite pronounced and where greater distancing from precedent might logically have been expected, but for reasons explored here, a sense of substantive continuity instead prevails. This work marks the occasion of the author's 65th birthday and the 40th anniversary of his publishing debut.

  3. International law and the post-Soviet space

    Grant, Thomas D., 1969-
    Stuttgart, Germany : ibidem-Verlag, [2019]-

    The region that once comprised the Soviet Union has been the scene of crises with serious implications for international law. Some of these, like the separatist conflict in Chechnya, date to the time of the dissolution of the USSR. Others, like Russias forcible annexation of Crimea and intervention in Ukraines Donbas, erupted years later. The seizure of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, which took place long before, would trouble Soviet-western relations for the Cold Wars duration and gained new relevance when the Baltic States re-emerged in the 1990s. The fate of Ukraine notwithstanding, the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 complicates future efforts at nuclear non-proliferation. Legal proceedings in connection with events in the post-Soviet space brought before the International Court of Justice and under investment treaties or the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea may be steps toward the resolution of recent crises -- or tests of the resiliency of modern international law.
